Basically, you choose a rootstock that is good for your soil, then graft on
whatever you want.

Over here, Sydney, NSW, it was Common Lemon stock, but I have no idea what
the current fashion is.

You propagate common lemon from cuttings, then gaft at 4'(?). Sigh, too
long since I learnt all that. The problem would be getting common lemon
stock. Just look for a thorn old lemon.

there is bound to be a fruit tree nursery around, ot try your local
sunday markets, often grafters sell stock there. maybe a local produce
agency can help?

yu will be wanting grafted stock the easiest way to go.

Not knowing what area you are in .
Try your local council /Shire as their health officer would/should have
a list of any growers in the area. Then ring a grower .

Perhaps give Chittering Shire a call (hint Hint )
As going through there the other morning heaps of new trees being
planted .
There is also this mob at Subi who may assist
